Why Is Hustle Culture Not Healthy?

I have been struggling with something for awhile now. Prioritizing and often even fetishizing money, overworking, and success over our own wellbeing. I think it began a couple of years ago when I was struggling financially yet wasn’t able to keep working all three jobs (running my therapy practice, working at the hospital, and doing youtube). I felt this urge to work work work no matter what. Feeling guilty if I slept in when my body needed it, or took the weekend off from work. I would look online and see other creators or influencers talk about their schedules, have already posted a photo to instagram, tweeted all morning about things, posted a video, and currently doing a livestream. I would allow myself to feel lesser than, as if I hadn’t done enough. And if I wanted to pay off my student loans, be an adult (not sure why I always tie success to that, but I do), maybe buy a house someday… then I had to work harder, and harder and harder.

And our society/social media has supported it forever. With merch that boldly states “rise and grind” or #goals, or even the pressure to create new years resolutions. Now I am not saying that we can’t want to improve or do better, make more money, be successful, I think we can all want to do that. However, that shouldn’t be at the cost of everything else in our life. We shouldn’t have to constantly choose between meaningful relationships and our work schedule. Or taking the time to decompress when we need it.
